Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) announced the release of its newest EMA Radar Report titled: EMA Radar Report for Private Cloud Management Platforms.
Created to assist IT professionals in selecting the right private cloud management platforms products, EMA has identified the leading vendors in this space based on key criteria defined by EMA Research Director, Systems Management, Torsten Volk.
Cloud is one of the most discussed topics in enterprise IT today. Recent EMA research – Demystifying Cloud – has shown that many organizations are getting started with implementing private cloud platforms without having done their homework in other datacenter disciplines, such as automation and orchestration, security management, service monitoring, and storage automation.
It is essential to understand that the implementation of a private cloud does not directly solve any of these problems. Private clouds come in different flavors – IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS – and simply add an abstraction and self-service layer on top of server, storage, and network virtualization. Instead of replacing existing enterprise IT management systems, private cloud platforms connect and orchestrate these systems to enable customers to build more agile, resilient, and efficient application environments and business services.
“Based on our research, we know that many organizations are struggling to obtain the anticipated ROI from their private cloud,” said Volk. “This is typically due to the cultural shift required within the IT organization from a resource centric to a business service centric paradigm. The right technology platform for private cloud supports this transformation process and offers the organization a much higher chance of achieving the aspired ROI.”
The EMA Radar Report for Private Cloud Management Platforms provides a detailed analysis of the leading solutions in this market place, offering guidance to organizations looking to adopt the most effective platform to meet their unique, private cloud requirements.
EMA’s evaluation crosses five distinct pillars indicating value: functionality, price advantage, architecture and integration, deployment and administration, and vendor strength.
A detailed, comparative study of products from the following 1e vendors based on the aforementioned criteria is included: Abiquo, ASG, BMC Software, CA Technologies, Citrix, Egenera, Embotics, HP, IBM, Microsoft, Morphlabs, Nimbula and Vmware.
